After beheading Xiahou Ji, Xun Yu sighed and felt a little tired.
He climbed up the city tower and looked to the south.
"Dark clouds are gathering in the south, and killing intent is filling the sky. I'm afraid General Xiahou Yuan... "
Xun Yu shook his head and did not finish his sentence.
...
"This dog is too smart!"
Bai Xiaowen sighed and exited the remote control state.
No wonder Cao Cao entrusted the responsibility of the rear to Xun Yu every time he went to war — he was really reliable.
Xudu was empty, but with thousands of old and weak soldiers, Bai Xiaowen could not do anything.
In fact, this was also related to the city defense system of ancient Hua Xia. In ancient Hua Xia cities, in addition to a moat, there were high and thick walls, and a series of city defense facilities, such as towers, arrow towers, turrets, barbicans, and so on, which were extremely advantageous to the defending side.
Coupled with a leader who was good at defending, it was really impregnable.
The attacking side, other than surrounding the city and waiting for the food in the city to run out, could only use their lives to fill the gap.
"The surprise attack on Xudu has been thwarted. We have underestimated the famous people of the Three Kingdoms, "Bai Xiaowen concluded seriously." The indigenous people are not easy to bully. Many famous people of the Three Kingdoms are better than the awakened ones in terms of wisdom and strategy! The awakened ones' only advantage is that they have a wide vision and rich knowledge. "
"Fortunately, we made two preparations before we set off..."
Bai Xiaowen looked to the northwest and sighed. "Now, we can only wait for the Youzhou army to arrive and attack Xudu."
Bai Xiaowen took out the geographical map of the mountains and rivers and checked the location of Jiaohe.
The 20,000 Youzhou army moved smoothly. After passing through Meng Jin, they began a rapid march and accelerated south. Now, they had reached Xinzheng.
Xinzheng was in the north of Yingchuan County. After passing Xinzheng, they would soon reach Yanling Pass by following the Wei Sansheng River to the east.
This was definitely good news.
Another good news was that the White Phoenix team surrounded the enemy and killed Xiahou Yuan in an ambush.
Xiahou Yuan was the Governor of Yingchuan and was in charge of the defense of Yingchuan and Yu Province. With his death, the guards of the various cities in Yingchuan would be leaderless and their speed of gathering would be much slower. Correspondingly, Chenliu, Qiao Prefecture, and the surrounding prefectures and counties would receive the news and rush over to help even later.
Bai Xiaowen estimated that the local garrison of Yingchuan would only realize the danger of Xudu after one or two days. The other counties would take even longer to gather their troops.
This way, the Youzhou army would arrive much faster.
Bai Xiaowen ordered Cecilia to lead the winged cavalry and split them into two groups, maintaining the tactic of harassing and harassing the Xudu defenders.
He himself borrowed Cecilia's White Jade Jing horse plate and rode it to Xinzheng to meet up with the Youzhou army first!
Without the geographical map, this meeting would not have been ideal, because the Youzhou army was also constantly marching. If Bai Xiaowen went alone, he might have taken a different route from the rest of the army.
However, with the geographical map's positioning function, Bai Xiaowen could constantly adjust his route!
After crossing the Yi River, Bai Xiaowen finally met up with the Youzhou army in the middle section of the wilderness between Xinzheng and Yanling Pass.
At this time, the Youzhou army had been rushing for six hours. Their stamina was almost exhausted, and their morale was low.
Although Bai Xiaowen's appearance had slightly raised their morale, the exhaustion of their stamina could not be made up for by their willpower alone.
"Young Master, the army needs to rest for at least four hours to recover their stamina before they can continue marching," Jiao Hua said with difficulty.
Four hours was the time Jiao Hua had tried his best to compress the time. After all, spirit realm soldiers were not like awakened ones. Although their physiques were stronger than ordinary people, they still needed to eat and drink on time. Otherwise, the provisions of the Three Kingdoms would not be so important.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "No! At most, we can rest for an hour. "
"An hour? That's only enough to cook, "Jiao Hua said in surprise.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "A lone army penetrating deep into enemy territory is of paramount importance. You came all the way from Mengjin and passed through Cao's territory. I'm sure the Cao army has already heard of your movements along the way! If you delay any longer, you'll be surrounded by the reinforcements from the Four Realms. At that time, it will be too late to regret. "
"Everything is as Young Master said. However, I'm worried that the soldiers are already spent after rushing to Xudu. They won't have the strength to fight."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this!"
Jiao Hua and Zhang Nan could only do as they were told.
As soon as the order to rest and reorganize for an hour and not sleep was given, the Youzhou soldiers immediately began to complain.
However, complaints were complaints, and the soldiers could only seize the time. They gnawed on dry rations, drank water, and sat on the ground to seize the precious hour of rest.
After an hour, the central army gave the order to set out.
The Youzhou soldiers walked with their sore legs, and there was no need to mention the resentment in their hearts.
However, a blue radiance spread out from the central army. Every soldier in the path felt their bodies become much lighter, as if there was an invisible force pushing them forward, making them walk faster!
Jiao Hua and Zhang Nan's personal guards shouted in unison:
"Young Master's divine technique, Heaven bless our army!"
"Young Master's divine technique, Heaven bless our army!"
The Youzhou soldiers suddenly realized that this was Second Young Master Yuan Xi's mystical technique.
Although there was no thunderous cheering, the Youzhou soldiers' morale had increased by a large margin.
Bai Xiaowen gave the order to attack Xudu. The first girl to reach the top of the city wall would be rewarded with three ranks of gold!
After using the "change of strategy" and the promise of a reward, the low morale of the Youzhou soldiers was finally raised.
The army advanced toward Xudu with a 40% increase in speed! The remaining journey, which was originally estimated to take four hours, only took a little more than two hours.
The twenty thousand soldiers and the eight hundred winged cavalry met, greatly increasing their morale.
Bai Xiaowen saw that the morale was good, so he immediately gave the order to beat the drums and launch a strong attack on Xudu!
This time, with the support of the army, the role of the awakened soldiers was fully reflected.
Li Shuyi flew into the air with his cloud-riding shoes, then swooped down and killed his way to the top of the city wall.
Bai Xiaowen airdropped all the melee summoned creatures, which also landed on the top of the city wall.
Then, Li Shuyi acted as the arrowhead, while the summoned creatures guarded the two wings, killing the enemy's archers and removing the firepower.
The twenty thousand soldiers carried the ladder and attacked the city like ants.
The defenders of Xudu had been harassed for days, so they didn't even have a good night's sleep. Of course, their combat strength was not at its peak. What's more, they were originally old and weak soldiers. They couldn't be called elites at all!
The boiling oil, rolling wood, and stones that Xun Yu had prepared in advance didn't work.
Because Bai Xiaowen used deterrence at the critical moment!
The deterrence lasted for a little more than a minute at most. In a siege battle, it was not eye-catching, but it could play a terrifying effect at the critical moment!
And this effect was …
The first batch of Youzhou soldiers climbed up the city wall with the help of the ladder!
The city wall fell into a chaotic battle, and the defenders' advantage no longer existed. Then, the second and third batches of Youzhou soldiers climbed up the city wall.
At this time, Bai Xiaowen's spiritual force field was removed, and the defenders woke up, but it was too late!
Xun Yu drew his sword and shouted, "Kill the thieves!"
"Your Highness, let's go!"
They forcibly carried Xun Yu and retreated into the city.
The northern city wall of Xudu was declared lost! Jiao Tan and Zhang Nan led the first batch of Youzhou soldiers into the city and began to fight with the old and weak defenders in the city. The battle line was advancing rapidly.
Soon, the sandbags blocking the gate were removed. With the winged cavalry as the vanguard, the majority of the Youzhou army entered the city!
Xudu, broken!
